Lucas watched as Minzy let go of his hand, their handshake over. The idea of a handshake still seemed weird to Lucas, but it did seem comforting, oddly enough. While he was thinking this, Minzy reached down and patted Skip on his head, complimenting him in the process. The act was very nice, as many people merely talked, while their bodies were still. It felt like lying to him.
Once she had finished petting Skip, Minzy proceeded to introduce her pokemon; a tynamo named Frey, and an unnamed squirtle she had just gotten, still in it's pokeball. Frey was 'cool' himself, and seemed fairly happy. The squirtle reminded Lucas that he should get a starter pokemon as well. Now that he had a pokedex, it would seem silly not to get one. Shifting from his thoughts, he noticed that Minzy had stepped back a bit. From the looks of it, she intended to not be 'all over him'. He hadn't minded her talking, as listening to some people could be relaxing. However, this did give him an opportunity to get one of the pokeballs. He was about to head on over to grab one, when he realized he should probably explain what he was doing before leaving.
"Um... I'll be right back". He could have explained a bit better, but he couldn't find the right words. Lucas headed over to the starters, and realized he didn't know which one he would pick. He decided to let Skip decide, and motioned for him to pick. Skip seemed to pause for a bit before picking out one of the pokeballs. Lucas raised an eyebrow at the mudkip's choice. He had expected Skip to pick a water type like himself. Not the type he was weak to. Picking up the pokeball containing the snivy, it dawned on him that he just picked up a new partner to travel with him. It felt amazing. He walked back to Minzy feeling a bit euphoric. But he kept his feelings in check as he apologized for leaving abruptly.
"Sorry about that..." Before he continued, he was struck with an idea. He held out snivy's pokeball in front of him "Erm... want to introduce our... um... new partners?" He wanted to let the snivy out, but it would be awkward to do it in front of Minzy suddenly. Also, the starters wouldn't be as alone in their feelings of curiosity towards their new trainers.
